Prostitution of High Office.

The degrading use to which President
Of the United States, in order to aid the
democratic ticket in New York, must be
humiliating to every citizen Of this country
who has decent regard for that high
position. He has cast it for all it is worth
into the scale in the New York election,
knowingly, advisedly, to help his partisan
friends in that State. In order TO prevent
any Misunderstanding of his position he
wrote letter to his friends. which was
published in all the democratic news
papers last week in which he said:
with hearty wish for the success of
every candidate on your excellent ticket
am, yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND"
Every man Of discernment will readily
ace that the strength Of this message Is in
the fact that it came from the President
Of the United States. Had it been only a
note from Grover Cleveland. Il private
citizen Of Buffalo or Washington, it would
have no more influence than a letter from
any other private citizen. But com
ing from the President it was notice
to every democratic politician that the pat
ronage, the power and influence Of that
hitherto high office was thrown into the
fight and that they who expect favor from
the administration, all the official. of high
and low degree, must govern themselves
accordingly.
Compared with -uch debasement of
this great office for partisan purposes, the
offences which civil service reforner- cry
out against are a. mole-hills to mountains.
What If a clerk in a post Office or custom
house aida in carrying forward the cam
paigns Of their party, what do his little
efforts, or the combined efforts Of the
whole post office or custom house force in
New York amount to in comparison with
the announcement Of the President of the
( nited States that he il taking hand in
the contest with all the strength that hi-
Office gives him viii any civil service
/ reformer who says Cleveland il better
/ than h- party, take the stand and tell the
/ public what he thinks Of this matter.

The great popularity and consequent value
of the Moxie have creatad big fight, and
what is unusual and important is, some ten
eminent physicians and fwo-well-known col
lege professors state before a United States
Court, trying an infringement of the Com
pany trademark, that they have tried it in
their practice, and admit that it will accom-
phsh all 1T is advertised to do. This is
something unusual for the doctors to do. I
suppose il is because it is not a medicine. but
nerve food. 1t is said to be working into
medical practice very fast. The size of its
